I really appreciate this conversation and I think you both make great points. I think the crux of the problem is that the economic structure of galleries informs the way artists make work, instead of the other way round. And that their representative structures force artists to find a way to brand themselves. Both force many artists to step away from their true selves....but that is just my speculation.

(i work in the biz in ny, though on a very low rung. i do however have many art friends and peers, and I'm basing my speculation from my own experiences and what i've shared with them)
